Small Fire in Ridgely Annex

Early yesterday morning a small fire was discovered in Ridgely Annex. The blaze was put out, however, before any great damage was done to the building or the surrounding property. The fire broke out in a pile of mattresses and debris stored in the basement of the Annex.

The building was formerly used as a dormitory for University students. This year, however, the hall has been unoccupied. Since there is also no furniture in the building now, the damage done by smoke and water was small.
